So, my house is driving me crazy. I feel like we have more than maxed out the 1000 square feet. I would LOVE to move, but know that it probably isn’t going to happen right now. I decided part of the problem was that from the minute I walk into my house, I am overwhelmed by the clutter and toys everywhere. After talking to Brian, I decided to change up the kids rooms…again! I put all three beds and the dresser in the yellow room (Gavin’s room) and made the blue room (the girls’ room) a play room. Brian was a little skeptical about getting the kids to sleep, but it’s worked out great so far. They were super excited about it! Monday night, I did most of the major switching before Brian got home. We had the sleep room ready to put the kids to bed and then the real work began. I organized all of the toys and we got rid of a few trash bags of toys. The crazy thing is, all of the toys barely fit! We had to put a few of Lilah’s things in the living room.
Brian redid a few things in the frogs’ tank and then we moved them to the playroom. The next night, I rearranged and cleaned the living room. I now don’t feel super overwhelmed and stressed. This weekend, I plan to do a major closet swap and clean them all out. I will feel so much better when this is done and feel like we can stay here a bit longer.
In the middle of the mess…
The finished product…

I've thought about doing something like this, too! My kids just sleep so terribly together! (The two older girls share a room already)
I have to say, the sleeping has gone far better than expected! They were sneaking into each others rooms as it was, so this makes it easier. We just lay Lilah down and get her to sleep first, then add the older two. For now, it's working and I LOVE it!!
